I received the radio from the seller and it looks and works as advertised. He programmed it for me with a few channels, however it is field programmable via the front panel (instructions are very easy to find online).

It turns out that to use the internal speaker, one must jumper two pins on the accessory pigtail for the radio, which I had done when I first got the radio in order to test it out. I intended to put the radio in a vehicle I had just bought. I put it back in its box to wait until warmer weather when I could install it. During that time the jumper fell out of the cord, and for the life of me I can't figure out where I had found the schematic (online) for the cord, so the radio has just sat. I ended up sticking with an Icom mobile as I have for the past ten years or so. So in the interest of full disclosure...you will need to find a schematic for the accessory pigtail to figure out how to use the internal speaker or hook up an external one. I have checked the internal speaker by clipping leads to it, and it still works fine, so I know I did not accidentally blow it, I just have not gone back and figured out how to properly make it work.

Selling this for exactly what I paid for it, free insured shipping included.

I have never sold on RR before, but I have been selling on eBay for about 15 years now and have over 1800 positive feedback and no negatives (username by private request only). I also have bought/sold/traded on QRZ, however not in the recent past.

That said, this radio will go to eBay if nobody is interested here on RR.
